Does Holding in Semen Have Any Impact on Physical Health?

Holding back ejaculation can have an impact on physical health. When reaching the threshold of ejaculation during sexual activity, deliberately holding back ejaculation can have certain effects on physical health. This is because when reaching sexual climax, the prostate becomes extremely congested. If ejaculation cannot be achieved in time, the prostate will continue to be congested for an extended period, often leading to prostatic inflammation.

Additionally, if sexual activity is stopped halfway through, even though sexual excitement has been reached, it can help extend the duration of sexual activity by allowing the penis to become erect again after a period of rest. However, this can affect the quality of sexual activity, as repeated congestion and erections of the penis are not beneficial to reproductive system health.

Failing to ejaculate when it is physiologically appropriate can result in the muscles of the penis not relaxing as they should, leading to excessive fatigue. This can have consequences such as erectile dysfunction, which can significantly impact normal sexual activity. Since the male urethra also serves as the ejaculatory duct, if a man chooses not to ejaculate, the semen does not disappear but rather retreats towards the internal opening of the bladder and enters the bladder, ultimately being expelled with urine. This phenomenon is known as retrograde ejaculation, and this abnormal ejaculatory pattern is something the body will "resist". If ejaculation is frequently withheld, the risk of male infertility can significantly increase.

Frequently suppressing ejaculation can lead to an increase in the frequency of wet dreams, occurring more than twice a week, regardless of whether the individual is asleep or awake. This can be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, mental exhaustion, and soreness and weakness in the waist and legs.
